Google buys Pyra Labs
Argyle writes "SiliconValley.com reports that Google has bought Pyra Labs. Pyra Labs is the creator of the Blogger software and runs the blogger.com and blogspot.com services. In weblog fashion, founder Evan Williams reported the news on his weblog in the middle of the Live from the Blogosphere event."
Lets say for whatever reason Id like to run a little blog action. Ive never really gotten into any blogs and I dont visit a single one on any kind of basis. However, Id like an easy way to basically journal. Some basic requirements:
Drop in a working apache server
Be able to simply add pictures, links, etc. Cant be too complicated tho
Option to keep a post private
The ultimate network admin tool needs HELP!
Back in the day, only people with something important to say had websites. Then, with the mass influx of the common idiot, everyone had a stupid webpage filled with blink tags and pictures of their fscking cat.
Thankfully, it's no longer 'trendy' to have a website. And for those that do, search engines have progressed to the point where their pathetic little sites can be safely ignored.
Weblogging is going the same way. First, only people with something important to say had them. We've reached stage two - every idiot thinks the world cares about his or her boring little life.
Free clue: No one gives a damn about you, or your thoughts. Thank you, drive through.
Anyway, Google will likely throw their newfound stash of mediocre whining into a seperate category on the search engine. Thus, assuring that the majority of Internet users never have to stumble across it.
I salute Google for aiding the progress of the Internet.
"...sucking up quite a few of the top notch CS folks - rob pike anyone?:)"
What does CS mean? Closed Source? Cum Shot? Oh, wait, must be cum shot if they're 'sucking' up rob 'pike' (porno stage name presumably). Nevermind, answered my own question.
WHAT the FUCK?
